Early South Indian Palaeography c9.2

c9.2

The question whether there was any ideographic script that preceded the evolution of true writing in India as is found in ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, has not found a good answer. This is not due to the paucity of material evidence on the subject but due to the indeterminable nature of most of the material available with regard to their chronology and place in the evolution of writing in India.
